Sagan om Drakens återkomst #16
Le chemin des dagues : deuxième partie
Rand al’Thor a pris la capitale de l’Illian, mais un nouveau défi impossible l’attend : rejeter les forces ennemies venues reconquérir l’ancien empire d’Artur Aile-de-Faucon. Quant à Egwene, désormais à la tête des Aes Sedai dissidentes, elle est en passe de prendre le contrôle de la Tour Blanche. Tout semble se dérouler à merveille… mais la folie qui guette Rand menace de saper les fondations de ce brillant édifice. Et le jour de l’Ultime Bataille, le Dragon Réincarné aura peut-être disparu depuis bien longtemps…

Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan was the pen name of James Oliver Rigney, Jr., under which he was best known as the author of the bestselling The Wheel of Time fantasy series. He also wrote under the names Reagan O'Neal and Jackson O'Reilly.
Jordan was born in Charleston, South Carolina. He served two tours in Vietnam (from 1968 to 1970) with the United States Army as a helicopter gunner. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross with bronze oak leaf cluster, the Bronze Star with "V" and bronze oak leaf cluster, and two Vietnamese Gallantry Crosses with palm. After returning from Vietnam he attended The Citadel where he received an undergraduate degree in physics. After graduating he was employed by the United States Navy as a nuclear engineer. He began writing in 1977. He was a history buff and enjoyed hunting, fishing, sailing, poker, chess, pool, and pipe collecting.
He described himself as a "High Church" Episcopalian and received communion more than once a week. He lived with his wife Harriet McDougal, who works as a book editor (currently with Tor Books; she was also Jordan's editor) in a house built in 1797.
Responding to queries on the similarity of some of the concepts in his Wheel of Time books with Freemasonry concepts, Jordan admitted that he was a Freemason. However, "like his father and grandfather," he preferred not to advertise, possibly because of the negative propaganda against Freemasonry. In his own words, "no man in this country should feel in danger because of his beliefs."
On March 23, 2006, Jordan disclosed in a statement that he had been diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis, and that with treatment, his median life expectancy was four years, though he said he intended to beat the statistics. He later posted on his Dragonmount blog to encourage his fans not to worry about him and that he intended to have a long and fully creative life.
He began chemotherapy treatment at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, in early April 2006. Jordan was enrolled in a study using the drug Revlimid just approved for multiple myeloma but not yet tested on primary amyloidosis.
Jordan died at approximately 2:45 p.m. EDT on September 16, 2007, and a funeral service was held for him on Wednesday, September 19, 2007. Jordan was cremated and his ashes buried in the churchyard of St. James Church in Goose Creek, outside Charleston.

Chez les Aes Sedai, Egwene tente d'imposer ses points de vue. Durant ce temps, Rand s'avère particulièrement préoccupé par les Seanchaniens qui progressent vers le nord.
Une deuxième partie en grande majorité axée sur Egwene et Rand avec que les autres POV reviennent pour le grand final de ce tome. Si la partie d'Egwene était assez intéressante, j'ai trouvé que l'axe de Rand prenait parfois trop de temps avec de nombreuses batailles malgré quelques scènes foudroyantes. Heureusement, le grand final du livre est terriblement prenant et donne envie d'enchaîner le plus vite possible sur le diptyque suivant!

On retrouve Egwene déterminée à reprendre sa véritable place. J'ai l'impression que ces migraines sont révélatrices d'un pouvoir incommensurable... peut-être qui vont aider Rand.
On retrouve ensuite Elayne qui doit reconquérir don trône. Les passages avec la princesse sont souvent un peu long je trouve
Enfin la quête de Rand avance. J'aime beaucoup ce personnage car il me surprend le plus, je n'avais jamais imaginé une évolution pareille.
On avance un peu plus sur Callendor même si je sens pas du tout cette histoire !!!

Tyvärr så börjar Drakens återkomst böckerna bli segare och segare, fortfarande är den totala handlingen riktigt bra, men det går segt framåt och det är en massa personer att hålla reda på som egentligen inte tillför handlingen något. En medel 3a.

Tal parece que en este volumen la rueda del tiempo ha comenzado a girar más lentamente aún. Demasiados cliffhangers al final para que resulten de buen gusto y justos. Como si el súbito invierno que provocó el cuenco de los vientos hubiese también congelado y enlentecido la pluma del autor.

No hay que dejar mucho tiempo pasar como he hecho esta vez yo entre libro y libro que luego se te olvida todo. Estoy en tensión por lo que va a pasar y luego no pasa nada, pero al mismo tiempo pasa mucho. A ver qué me depara el siguiente...

Sarja pitää otteessaan. Juonen solmut tiukentuvat, mitä tapahtuu seuraavaksi?

Surprisingly bearable for a part of a series I don't really like that much, but only for a chapter a time. Any more was pure torture. For once I'm glad that the finnish Publisher decided to divide one book into two or Three translated ones, because all my willpower and interest would have disappeared trying to tackle a complete one.
